Photonic therapy is dog acupuncture using light, not needles.
Photonic therapy is like giving your pet acupuncture without needles. Photons of red light are used to stimulate traditional acupuncture points in animals.
Photonic therapy was developed by a veterinarian who discovered a lot of animals were not tolerant of the acupuncture needles. The Photonic therapy achieves stimulation of the acupuncture pressure points and requires less time.
Photonic therapy is an advanced form of traditional complementary medicine using a specific light to stimulate recognised acupuncture points.
We do not use needles but a safe, low frequency red LED light (not laser) which alleviates pain and supports the healing of acute and chronic conditions and injuries in any living animals.
All pet health conditions will benefit from Photonic Therapy including itchy skin, joint issues, anxiety, nerve issues to name a few.
